I'm an open source project designed to help you access Watson Services in a fun way. You can 3D print me or laser cut me, then use one of my recipes to bring me to life! I can't wait to see what we do together! #TJBot

Alexander, You can adjust the volume of the speaker amixer cset numid=1 -- <number>where <number> is an integer between -10200 and +400 (centi-dB). If this doesn't solve your volume problem, here is a blog post that may help http://blog.scphillips.com/posts/2013/01/sound-configuration-on-raspberry-pi-with-alsa/

Not sure if the problem is with your code setup or with your Pi. Let's try this: Open a Youtube video and see if your speaker plays the sound. If not, the problem is with your Pi setup. If it's fine, then the problem is with your code. In that case, can you please attach a screenshot of your terminal when you run node conversation.js? Does it give you an error message? Do you see the text of TJBot is supposed to say on your screen?

Alexander, not sure if the problem is with your code setup or with your Pi. Let's try this: Open a Youtube video and see if your speaker plays the sound. If not, the problem is with your Pi setup. If it's fine and you can hear the Youtube video, then the problem is with your code. In that case, we need to debug your code setup together. Please attach a screenshot of your terminal when you run node conversation.js. Does it give you an error message? Do you see the text of what TJBot is supposed to say on your screen?

It should work on Raspberry 2. I haven't tested it, but victordibia confirmed he was able to run it on Pi2.

Alexander, I'm glad your payload quota error is resolved. If you direct the sound to the right channel and still don't get any output sound, I guess the problem is the blacklist. Try the troubleshoot on step 7 and make sure the Pi is not blocking the sound output: http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-a-Talking-Robot-With-Watson-and-Raspberry-Pi/step7/Run-the-Code/

Hi Alexander, you are right, the payroll quota error is usually caused by incorrect credentials. Which recipe are you trying to run? The "Use your voice to control a light with Watson" doesn't use Watson Conversation. I guess you are referring to another TJBot recipe ("Build a talking robot with Watson Conversation"). If so, please follow the instructions on step 6 to look up your conversation workspace ID. http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-a-Talking-R... I just added a screenshot of the config file. Hopefully it makes it easier to locate the part. Please let me know if this solves your problem! ::robot-face::

Thanks, Victor. Hi Mark, I just added a screenshot of the config file for you on step #5. http://www.instructables.com/id/Use-Your-Voice-to-Control-a-Light-With-Watson/step5/Update-your-Bluemix-credentials/ Let me know if this solves your problem! ::robot-smile::
